"Now, Oboi, tell me, now that the Empress Dowager has been killed, and our Qing Dynasty does not restart the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs, who should be in charge?!"
Killer!
Fei Yanggu completed the decisive victory over Obai in one sentence!
Fei Yanggu's meaning is very clear. As a minister who cares about life, you, Obai, stand on the side of the imperial power. There is nothing to say!
However, if you don't allow the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs to be restarted, then you have to introduce a candidate who can replace Bumbutai and preside over the overall affairs of the government, right?
Otherwise, who will be in charge of the overall affairs of the government?
Now the war situation in the southeast is tense, Wu Sangui rebels in the southwest, the entire southern country has almost fallen, and the world is in chaos.
If there is no powerful person to preside over the government, who can bear the consequences?
Obai frowned and said.
"The meeting of kings and ministers who discuss government affairs must not make a decision!"
"Perhaps we can restart the cabinet system of the previous Ming Dynasty!"
The cabinet system of the former Ming Dynasty also centered on imperial power.
But it can serve as a temporary substitute when the imperial power is lacking or unable to be implemented.
Therefore, Obai would rather let the Qing Dynasty learn from the previous Ming Dynasty and establish a cabinet. The first and second ministers of the cabinet would jointly handle the affairs of the emperor.
Nor is he willing to restart the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs.
This is also the result of their discussion with the four ministers Gu Ming!
Of course, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to learn from the cabinet system of the former Ming Dynasty, then they would appoint the four ministers, who would of course be the first and second ministers of the Qing Dynasty.
This makes sense, doesn't it?
After hearing this, Fei Yanggu stood up and spoke.
"No!"
"Determined!"
"The cabinet system is a system from the previous Ming Dynasty, but the lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty's demise are still before our eyes. Anyone who dares to use the policies of the previous Ming Dynasty is causing chaos in the country!"
"Anyone who disrupts the country can be killed!"
Although Fei Yanggu did not imitate Obai and burst into tears whenever he disagreed, his attitude was still very firm.
Be confident when speaking!
With Six Flags among the Eight Banners of Manchuria as his backing, there was no way he was lacking in confidence.
Now that Tuhai and the Yellow Banner have all led their troops south to suppress the rebellion, the power of the two Yellow Banners is unprecedentedly weak.
Even if Obai comes forward in person.
In terms of strength, the two yellow flags representing the imperial power cannot be compared with the remaining six flags.
The two yellow flags blocked the palace, and the remaining six flags blocked the inner and outer cities. The meaning of confrontation was quite obvious.
The atmosphere inside and outside the capital is on the verge of breaking out!
When Ao Bai heard the reason for Fei Yanggu's refusal, he started to argue.
"The destruction of the former Ming Dynasty is the reincarnation of destiny. I, the Qing Dynasty, have returned to the fate of destiny, so I can destroy the previous Ming Dynasty."
“There are not many flaws in its political system!”
"..."
Seeing the quarrel among the people below, Borgijit hugged Kangxi and felt a little panicked.
She is just an ordinary woman.
But without Bumubutai's ability and prestige, she could not suppress the court, so she could only sit on it and become a mascot.
Silently listening to the ministers below, discussing how to divide the imperial power.
Yes, Oboi and others are also dividing the imperial power.
It's just that because of their status as ministers who care about life, they are not as brilliant as Fei Yanggu and others.
However, in essence, they were indeed dividing the imperial power.
After all, under the political system of the cabinet system of the former Ming Dynasty, the actual power of the emperor was not comparable to that of the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
But it is much better than the meeting of kings and ministers that discusses government affairs advocated by Fei Yanggu and others!
Feiyanggu and others wanted to restore the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty to what it was like in the Nurhaci era, but they did not hide it at all.
The atmosphere inside and outside the capital was extremely depressing and calm. Fortunately, both Obai and the others, as well as Fei Yanggu and the others, maintained a certain degree of reason and restraint.
A quarrel is a quarrel, not a real fight!
After the two sides argued for almost a whole night, they finally compromised and reached a tacit understanding.
This time the dispute has been brought to an end for the time being!
First of all, the two sides reached a compromise. The political system of the Qing Dynasty did not use the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs, but learned to adopt the cabinet system of the previous Ming Dynasty.
But when it comes to selecting senior ministers in the cabinet, the four ministers Gu Ming occupy four seats, and the banner leaders of each of the Eight Banners occupy one seat each.
Counting the two yellow flags on the side of the imperial power among the eight flags.
The two parties' forces in the cabinet have temporarily reached a balance.
There were a total of twelve cabinet ministers in the Qing Dynasty cabinet, but there was no chief minister. When relevant voting was carried out, the twelve people had the same weight.
Rather than saying this is a cabinet, it is better to say it is an enlarged meeting of the king and ministers who discuss government affairs!
But this is the result of mutual compromise and negotiation between Obai, Feiyanggu and others.
It is also the result that is most suitable for my current situation in the Qing Dynasty.
Then, in addition to finalizing the restart of the cabinet system of the pre-Ming dynasty, there was also a discussion on Bumbutai’s funeral.
Bumubutai was the Empress Dowager, so her funeral could not be taken lightly. No matter how much attention was paid to her, it should not be exaggerated.
The more important issue is that Bumbutai's death caused a rift between the Qing Dynasty and the imperial bastard Horqin.
After Prince Horqin learned of Bumbutai's death, he refused to go to Beijing to express his condolences.
What you need to know is that the current Prince Horqin Heta is Bumbutai's nephew in terms of seniority.
Dear nephew!
It can be seen that the rift between the Horqin Ministry and the Qing Dynasty is now very obvious.
The main reason is that over the years, the Qing Dynasty has been constantly recruiting young men from the Horqin tribe to join the Eight Banners of Mongolia to fight in the Central Plains.
Year after year, successive wars were fought, and the young and strong population of the Horqin tribe suffered serious losses.
In recent years, Horqin has been experiencing negative population growth.
But the benefits obtained by Horqin’s Ministry are quite limited!
In other words, there is a psychological imbalance in the Horqin Department.
I feel that Horqin's cavalry helped the Qing Dynasty conquer the entire Central Plains, but the Qing Dynasty did not give them the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and let them continue to stay in the bitter cold grasslands eating sand.
Can this be tolerated?
After so many years, the resentment accumulated by the Horqin tribe is almost overflowing.
Bumubutai was assassinated this time. To put it bluntly, it was just a trigger and a fuse.
Just let the powder keg that has been building up for a long time explode!
Coupled with the current internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty, its military strength was weakened.
The Horqin tribe also lost the respect they should have for the Qing Dynasty.
After understanding this, it is understandable that Heta would use such small means to express his dissatisfaction.
…
Boom! Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
The dull sound of war drums continued one after another, the dragon flag swept across, and the army was neatly arranged in uniforms and armors, and it was endless as far as the eye could see.
The cavalryman sat astride the horse, looking straight ahead with bright eyes.
The artillery pieces were arranged neatly, and the dark muzzles showed unparalleled deterrence.
The army returning from victory in Guangxi lined up outside Guangzhou for review.
A soldier with a distinguished military record, wearing a military medal on his chest, stood at the front of the queue.
Hold your chest high and your head up, your face full of pride!
Their armor and swords and guns were full of scars, and some were even wrapped in gauze.
The soldiers who were missing arms and legs were also supported and stood at the front.
But they don't look embarrassed or funny.
Instead, there was a mighty military power, mixed with the army's iron-blooded killing spirit.
As the dragon flag rolled, the sound of the war drums became more and more urgent, and everyone felt uncontrollably excited.
He couldn't help but look towards Guangzhou City not far away, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
